Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
This September, I'm walking and raising funds to support people living with epilepsy, and their families.
Epilepsy is characterised by seizures caused by bursts of electrical energy in the brain. But the way this affects each person is unique. With your help, Epilepsy Ireland can provide support tailored to the needs of each person and family living with epilepsy.
Your support will ensure that people with epilepsy and their families receive the information, advice, and support they need through a network of Community Resource Officers. You will ensure public awareness of epilepsy is improved and stigma and misunderstanding is alleviated. You will help fund vital research projects to find new ways to manage and treat epilepsy and reduce its impact on people’s lives.
I hope you can help me by making a donation. Simply click the Donate button. All donations are processed securely and are received directly by Epilepsy Ireland.

My Updates
Day Eighteen
Friday 18th Sep Day 18. Just a short loop this evening but a quicker pace, keeping the miles ticking over.
Day Seventeen
Thursday 17th Sep Day 17. Eventful walk tonight, I was too hydrated and got caught short so I needed to spend a penny in the local pub, thank you for letting me use your facilities and thank you Strava for showing it on the map, nothing's going to stop me completing this challenge.
Day Sixteen
Wednesday 16th Sep Day 16. Another evening walk due to been busy at work, started off a little stiff in the legs especially my shin but as I went on it eased and I was able to finish no problem.
Day Fifteen
Tuesday 15th Sep Day 15. We've reached the half way stage. Evening walk today, I think i prefer walking in the morning, something about leaving your house when it's bright out and returning when it's dark makes the walk feel much more longer than it is.
Day Fourteen
Monday 14th Sep Day 14. Had to adjust my walk today, busy day in work so couldn't do my normal route so instead walked around the park while my son trained.
Day Thirteen
Sunday 13th Sep Day 13. Incorporated a visit to my parents today.
Day Twelve
Saturday 12th Sep Day 12. My body is beginning to realise it's working more than it normally does, blisters starting to form on my feet but we march on.
Day Eleven
Friday 11th Sep Day 11. Just found out my work department will be doing a 4 week step challenge on behalf of Epilepsy Ireland and all donations received will be matched by the company, made my day.
Day Ten
Thursday 10th Sep Day 10. Clocking up the miles now, this new route will put me ahead of my goal at the half way mark by about 2 days.
Day Nine
Wednesday 9th Sep Day 9. Switched back to my normal route but seen as it was such a sunny morning I decided to keep walking, might stick to the route from now on.
Day Seven and Eight
Tuesday 8th Sep Day 7. One week done, time to reverse the route tomorrow for a bit of variety.
Day Six
Sunday 6th Sep Day 6. Beautiful Sunday for a walk.
Day 5
Saturday 5th Sep Day 5. While my son trained i got in my steps.
Day Four
Friday 4th Sep Day 4 done, weather is starting to change, much more windy today but we keep going.
Day Three
Thursday 3rd Sep Day 3, so I was correct Strava gave me a more precise reading than my watch, so I'm back on track to hit my goal of 5k a day.
Day Two
Wednesday 2nd Sep This morning I went for my walk by myself as Nikki was in work, slightly longer route trying to hit 5k, I've downloaded Strava for tomorrows walk as I don't think I'm getting an accurate distance reading on my fitbit, we shall see.
Day One
Tuesday 1st Sep Myself and Nikki started off our challenge together today, the sun was out and it made for an enjoyable walk, we did a combined 6 miles.Thank you to my Sponsors
